Not too much going on today, I'll just give you guys a little Box Office update. The official numbers for the weekend were released today and Expendables 2 pulled in slightly less then estimated with $13.4 Million for 1st Place. It was the worst weekend at the box office so far this year but hey, Expendables 2 won and that's all that matters!! Worldwide, Expendables is now up to $74.6 Million!! According to reza, it opened very strongly in India!!

FROM VARIETY:
"Lost" veteran Josh Holloway is in negotiations to join Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sam Worthington in David Ayer's action-thriller "Ten."

A testosterone-heavy riff on Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians," the Skip Woods-scripted film follows 10 members of an elite DEA task force that robs a dangerous drug cartel under the guise of a tactical raid on one of its safe houses. They think they've gotten away with millions in merch, until team members begin getting bumped off one by one.

Holloway is in talks to play Neck, a tough member of Schwarzenegger's DEA team who also acts as the medic.

Patrick, I find that many people are ignoring the foreign numbers so far, which have been coming in much stronger than the first movie did. This is encouraging for the total amount of money it makes. I think at the very least, even if this movie ends up not making more than the first one, it's going to do well enough to warrant a third one. If they announce a third one, and make it clear from the beginning that it'll be R-rated, and if they figure out a better release date, then it could blow the first two movies out of the water at the box office.

Yeah for the most part the film has been doing quite well overseas and a total at least close to the first film is possible. I would hope they learned their lesson and don't mess around with the rating for the third film.

I hope that the third part will be not less successful. I looked all two parts and that in them was pleasant to me - anything extra! Any it is empty nonsense! And thus there was a seat for юмора1 scripts so smooth what even to carp personally to me there is nothing. Both parts account have brought huge money! If the third part will be same I consider that there is a sense to show its people!

Patrick, you should make a poll for Claude Vilain, here is an idea for the intro text:

It has been said in many interviews by Van Damme, Avi Lerner and Stallone that they are contemplating bringing in Van Damme's twin for EX3, obviously it makes sense because he has played soooo many twins in his big movies (Double Impact, Maximum Risk) or clones (Replicant) or future/past versions of himself (Timecop, The Order, The Quest)... So it would be a nice tribute to JC since this franchise is all about paying homage to these legends past work...

Also, most critics and action fans say that he was the best part of EX2...

So my question is, would you rather have Claude Vilain be:

1-The even more evil and badass twin seeking to avenge his brother...

2-Have him be the Chad-Wagner-type character (from Double Impact) where he would be the cool, funny over the top nice guy who has always been trying to stop his bro from doing bad stuff so he feels like he owes Billy's death to Sly so he helps them by joining the team for the rest of the franchise and being the new member always fckin with Dolph...

3-Or you feel like he shouldnt be in EX3 so his EX2 performance is more memorable or he should simply make room for new action guys...

Personally, i vote for Option 2...

for option 2 i would add:

2-Have him be the Chad-Wagner-type character (from Double Impact) where he would be the cool, funny over the top nice guy who has always been trying to prove that his last name is the total opposite of who he is and has always tried to stop his bro from doing bad stuff so he feels like he owes Billy's death to Sly so he helps them by joining the team for the rest of the franchise and being the new member always fckin with Dolph...

Mike, I vote for option 1, lol....I think Claude should seek revenge on the Expendables for the death of his brother.

Also am I the only one that never noticed how tall Forest Whitaker was? I did not think he was taller than Arnold. And to make it even more surprising he looks a lot taller than Arnold. I'm in shock.
